approximately 86% of the illegal aliens living in the United States are concentrated in seven states: Arizona (1.7%), California (42.6%),

YOur statement , quoted above, does NOT say that 42.6% of the people in California are illegal aliens. It says that 42.6% of the illegal aliens in the country are in California. Two different things. It's still a lot, but not nearly as much.

I think California's population is around 37 million, an the estimate of illegals in the US that the UI figure are based on, is around 11 million. So, if you believe all the above numbers, the number of illegals in california is around 4.7 million, not 15+ million.

I don't think the CCR site includes county jails, but I am not sure. I'm sure LA county jail is mostly hispanic, and maybe illegals, but there are lots of other jails that are not. The CCR figures show 33% of all their inmates are from LA, so unless the LA jail population is a lot more than 33% of all the jail populations inthe state, it wouldn'ts budge the figures much -- but that's worth looking into, if you're being scholarly.

As promised elsewhere. A bit of research may or may not add some light.

I went to GOOGLE to enter said term. I then entered WIKIPEDIA.

Apparently a massive operation took place in 1954. It was called Operation (something or other). One million persons were removed South of the Border.

Yer resident Limey at work 'ere. I think we all need a good laugh and relax,after a bit of a fire fight. IMHO.

I'm not sure the title of that article is a good analogy - as has been pointed out in this thread, Irish immigration of the 19th century was legal, Mexican immigration today is not.

I'm a Mayoman, and Sligo is a good place!

Once, when I was taking the boat out to Inis Mor, there was this Cork man talking to me. I could swear he was speaking Swedish or something!

I had a great time in Galway, Clare, Mayo and Donegal, to name of few! Great crac in Bundoran..

This is funny, I was just advising someone on another thread to take a trip to Vegas...

There's another town a little ways up from Bundoran, also starts with a 'B'... that may be the one I was thinking of, not sure.

The only common bond between the Irish and Mexicans is the lying thieving racist demagogue Democrats who exploited immigrants.

And for the Irish those bonds exist to this day in form or fashion.

There's no fact so solid and immutable that a brain-dead liberal can't beat it into submission.

Legal? Illegal? What's the difference, so long as they CARE more deeply and painfully than normal people?
